A Corner Brook RNC officer, responding to a disorderly conduct call involving a woman, suffered minor injuries in an altercation with the suspect.

It happened last night at about 8:30 on Gillams Road in the west coast city.

Upon initial contact, the woman was warned by police and advised to leave the area. However, about an hour later, she came back and continued to behave in a disorderly manner. As a result, the 23-year-old Corner Brook resident was arrested and charged with mischief. But she resisted and during the course of the arrest, assaulting the two police officers. She also had a concealed weapon at the time of the incident.

The accused has now been charged with three counts of assaulting a police officer, mischief, resisting arrest, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public, and carrying a concealed weapon.

Corner Brook authorities tell VOCM News that the suspect is still in custody pending a psychiatric assessment.
